It’s a prime illustration of the perilous nature of this technology. The responses are so convincing that individuals are inclined to rely on them. It’s hard for people to fathom that a computer could fabricate such content.

I experienced similar cases in ChatGPT. I searched for WordPress hooks because I couldn’t find them on Google. The answers were too good to be true, so I asked about the sources. ChatGPT responded, “Sure, no problem,” and gave me links totally unrelated to its responses. In the end, it turned out that the hook didn’t exist at all.

ChapGPT is not only limited as a IT discussion … A lawyer used ChatGPT to do legal research and cited a number of nonexistent cases in a filing, and is now in a lot of trouble with the judge
Schwartz’s firm has been suing the Columbian airline Avianca on behalf of Roberto Mata, who claims he was injured on a flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. When the airline recently asked a federal judge to dismiss the case, Mata’s lawyers filed a 10-page brief arguing why the suit should proceed. The document cited more than half a dozen court decisions, including “Varghese v. China Southern Airlines,” “Martinez v. Delta Airlines” and “Miller v. United Airlines.” Unfortunately for everyone involved, no one who read the brief could find any of the court decisions cited by Mata’s lawyers. Why? Because ChatGPT fabricated all of them. Oops.
